The current events that have taken place in New Orleans draw an eerie coincidence to events that took place at the previous turn of the century.
In 1900, a devastating category 4 storm hit the major US port of Galveston, TX, which was at the time larger than the nearby city of Houston, also a port, but located further inland. It was estimated that the hurricane claimed from 6,000-12,000 lives. Because of the severity of the storm and the city's proximity to the Gulf, many of the businesses and residence, alike, moved more inland to Houston, thus converting it into the major metropolis that it is to this day.
It is hard to imagine because none of us were alive at that time, but history has shown it to be a fact, nonetheless. But if you open your mind, it is not hard to see that history could be repeating itself. In this case Baton Rouge is the latter day Houston, and New Orleans is the modern day Galveston.
